Venue

Harpa is a new conference and concert hall in the heart of Reykjavík. This unique architectural gem is situated on the Reykjavík harbour in the city centre and fetures stunning views of the surrouning mountains and the North Atlantic Ocean.

Registration begins FEB 2018.

An important part of attending a conference like RESCUE 2018 is to share your experiences, get to know new people and talk to others with similar interests.

The Elephant's club on Friday night, at Björtuloft on the top floors of Harpa is an informal gathering of RESCUE 2018 attendees were they can grab a drink with colleagues and have a nice time in a relaxed atmosphere.

On Saturday evening we have organized a dinner for those participants who signed up for gold or silver passes at the famous Blue Lagoon just outside of Reykjavík.

A bus will take guests from to the Blue Lagoon. Those who wish to dip into the Blue Lagoon before dinner (strongly recommended, great experience) should bring their swimsuit and a towel. The appetizer will be served in the lagoon for those who dip in. Buses will leave Marina Hotel and Natura Hotel at 17:30 hrs for those that want to dip into the Lagoon and 19:00 hrs for others.

On Thursday, all our international guests are invited to a formal reception at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Buses, that will take guests to the reception, leave from Hotel Marina and Hotel Natura at 18:15. The buses goes back to the hotels at 20.30. Dress code: Smart casual.

For those who wish to use their own transportation the reception starts at 18:30 at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Raudararstigur 25, Reykjavík.
